In this hands-on workshop, you’ll:
Learn to create intricate Karamatsu patterns using simple stitching
Dye your piece with natural indigo
Take home your very own Japanese indigo tea towel
All materials are provided, and a light lunch and snacks will be served.
Length: Approx. 4 hours
Our instructor Adrian Lubanski, founder of Indigo Inari, studied Traditional Japanese Textile Design in Japan for five years and now teaches both there and at Anda. He has also worked as a costumer on iconic films such as Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Licorice Pizza, Babylon, and A Star is Born.
Passionate about preserving disappearing Japanese textile traditions, Adrian’s mission is to bring this craft to the Western world and share it with those who appreciate its beauty and history.
A Note on Tradition
Stitch-resist dyeing has a rich history in Japan, with artisans in regions like Arimatsu creating intricate patterns on traditional cotton textiles such as yukata, kimono, and tenugui. The Karamatsu Technique is one of these traditional Shibori methods, celebrated for its delicate, radiating designs that transform cloth into a meditative and expressive work of art.
